 The five crewmembers get out of the way and follow Jenya to the turbolift. Alberic gently asks her how long she's had the Thon symbiont; Jenya glares but says it's been about seven years. She laments how her exotic acting career was derailed when Virgil saved the passenger liner she was traveling on after it was attacked by a Romulan warbird, and how Virgil was killed. Being the only other Trill onboard and with the Thon symbiont unable to go into stasis, Jenya let societal pressure overwhelm her and let the human doctor join them. Although she gained a lot of new skills from the joining, she also inherited Virgil's dedication to Starfleet, and clearly resents that. She grouses that one of Thon's favored memories is the toast in Boston. The five crewmembers get out of the way and follow Jenya to the turbolift.

-Jace wonders why the Q haven't gotten involved; Jenya replies that they have tried to ask the Q but gotten no answer. All "higher" forms of life, the Q, the Organians, etc, seem to have abandoned the galaxy in the wake of the Borg. They reach the bridge, and find it a shattered, barely functioning mess. First officer [[trek:characters:erik|Erik Gray]], now sporting a goatee, stares at them, but [[trek:characters:simon|Simon]] sits at operations and [[trek:characters:armina|Armina]] in the command pit, which reassures them a bit. Lt. [[trek:characters:felch|Felch]] pilots the vessel, and a dimly familiar Cardassian woman sits at science. Jenya introduces her as [[trek:characters:gurka|Gurka]], and Alberic and Mel remember the twelve-year-old girl who let heavily armed Starfleet officers into her grandfather's home a few months ago.+Jace wonders why the Q haven't gotten involved; Jenya replies that they have tried to ask the Q but gotten no answer.

 Alberic greets her in Cardassian and learns she remembers him and Mel, but not the others until she puts everything in context. Jace wants to play with the sensors, but Erik tells him the science sensor palette was destroyed a while ago. Gurka is willing to let Jace try anyway, so he shoots over and starts playing. He discovers the sensors are in a bad way but does his best with Gurka's help. Alberic asks about Ensign [[trek:characters:ora|Ora]] and discovers she's alive and well and serves on gamma shift. They wonder about the Tholian involvement, but Alberic greets Erik and Simon warmly. Both men are wary but return the greeting. Alberic greets her in Cardassian and learns she remembers him and Mel, but not the others until she puts everything in context.

-P8 Blue admits she's been ordered to salvage what she can from the //Thunderbird// but is under unofficial orders to assist the five of them in any way she can. The others look confused, but Mel guesses correctly the orders came from Captain Kras. P8 Blue nods and explains the captain has set course for the hidden Starfleet base within the Andorian Nebula - Sanctuary. There she'll meet with Admiral [[trek:characters:picard|Jean-Luc Picard]] and the council: the captains of the remaining Starfleet vessels. The remaining Starfleet vessels are as follows: //Solstice//, //Enterprise-E//, //Stargazer-A//, //Ausdis//, //Varich-A//, and //Voyager//, and Captains Kras, [[trek:characters:worf:Worf]], [[trek:characters:stadi|Marena Stadi]], [[trek:characters:yemen|Thraka Yemen]], Shay'taal, and Tom Paris do their best with what little resources they have remaining.+P8 Blue admits she's been ordered to salvage what she can from the //Thunderbird// but is under unofficial orders to assist the five of them in any way she can.

-P8 Blue reveals one of the reasons the Federation fell to the Borg: Bjornson. Thorir Atli Bjornson sacrificed himself to the Borg to prevent the assimilated of his fiancée' Jen Kras! Now Artaus of Borg, Bjornson led the subjugation and assimilation of all local space. A Borg armada swarmed the Alpha and Beta quadrants with 7,000 vessels, and the defending fleet of four hundred vessels was destroyed in less than thirty seconds. Mel swears; she was planning on trying to find Bjornson next. P8 Blue tearfully recalls the assimilation of New P'Jem and Starbase 212 falling from the sky to the planet below in the Borg onslaught.+P8 Blue reveals one of the reasons the Federation fell to the Borg: Bjornson. [[trek:characters:bjornson|Thorir Atli Bjornson]] sacrificed himself to the Borg to prevent the assimilated of his fiancée - Jen Kras!

 P8 Blue recovers and explains they can help her by overseeing her work in the shuttlebay control room, which is sealed against radiation. The hope is to get the //Thunderbird// space-worthy again for the return trip through the anomaly. P8 Blue examines Jace's theories and agrees from an engineering standpoint the theory is sound, but the practical resources are lacking. Jace now believes a controlled attack pattern of torpedoes at the precise spot of the anomaly may cause it to open, possibly for "the first time" which started this mad trip in the first place. He believes one hundred torpedoes should do it, but the //Solstice// carries only five, and between the remaining Starfleet vessels perhaps thirty-five to forty remain all told. P8 Blue recovers and explains they can help her by overseeing her work in the shuttlebay control room, which is sealed against radiation.

-Alberic asks if Data survived, but P8 Blue replies Data was destroyed during Shinzon's coup before the Borg attack. Daphne jokes that since all outcomes are possible in an infinite multiverse, obviously there's some timeline where they're successful. Sola and Rebecca check Jace's math as the others assist P8 Blue in the control room. Alberic asks about the Dai'Loq, but P8 Blue explains the species died to a woman defending their home world - an actual Dyson Sphere. The Borg assimilated Dai'Loq nanotechnology, ironically the forerunner of Borg technology, and become exponentially stronger as a result.+Alberic asks if [[trek:characters:data]] survived, but P8 Blue replies Data was destroyed during [[trek:characters:shinzon]]'s coup before the Borg attack.

-Sola frowns and vanishes. Working together, the officers realize the port nacelle is almost completely useless and will have to be replaced. P8 Blue tells them that the //Thunderbird III// is in cold storage, stripped down for parts. Mel leads the others in bringing over the spare parts on anti-grav pallets. They work for a while, until Sola reappears and somberly informs them that Armina is dead' at Erik's hands, and by Jen's orders.+Sola frowns and vanishes.

They work for a while, until Sola reappears and somberly informs them that Armina is dead - at Erik's hands, and by Jen's orders.
  
-They absorb that news for a second before Jace' still grappling with his reawakened conscience' asks Sola if she can ask Captain Kras for some of Bjornson's data. Sola reveals that she's talking with the captain simultaneously, and Jace enviously asks if he can bring her home. The others rib him about having a girlfriend, but he protests he only wants a best friend. Through Sola, Captain Kras tells the crew that her fiancé's files are sealed away from Sola's grasp, but she releases some of the information. Sola shudders in ecstasy, and the time-lost officers wonder who exactly created Sola. She admits her personality was initially created by Bjornson, Jen, Simon, and Cidhela working together.+They absorb that news for a second before Jace - still grappling with his reawakened conscience - asks Sola if she can ask Captain Kras for some of Bjornson's data.

 Sola shudders again and there are some jokes about "defragging" taking on a whole new meaning. Sola retorts that in 2371 there was an informal pool amongst the junior officers about when Mel would finally get laid. The AI enviously accesses data on advanced quantum slipstream drive, transwarp, and a phased cloaking device. Alberic wonders about the ACB jacketing for phasers, but Sola replies that's standard in 2386 and makes allusions that at some point prior to his assimilation, Bjornson surrendered the //Saber// back to Starfleet. She also refers to Bjornson at one point as "Fleet Admiral," so the time-lost officers assume he returned to Starfleet as well. Sola shudders again and there are some jokes about "defragging" taking on a whole new meaning.
